Connecticut Dunkin' Donuts franchisees will award $1,000 scholarships to 50 qualified high school seniors in the state as part of a Community Partnership program. This is the ninth year of the scholarship program, which has donated more than $800,000 to Connecticut students. Once again the application process will be completely online at www.dunkindonuts.com/scholarship.

Qualified scholarship candidates must be high school seniors who plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year. In addition to being residents of the state of Connecticut, candidates must also have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent). Full-time and part-time employees of Dunkin' Donuts franchisees who meet the above scholarship requirements are eligible and encouraged to apply.

Dunkin' Donuts franchisees have partnered with Scholarship America to administer the scholarship program and selection process. The deadline date for all online applications is Friday, March 15.
